This is like the 3 time I've shit myself on accident this year, every time it happens I go to fart and push a little too hard and soil myself. negative failure now it has me worried I'm dying.

    by all means, check in with a doc. eat more fiber. but maybe dial back your trusting of farts too. the risk reward ratio is a no-go in my opinion. what has one really lost by farting into a toilet? a moment of time? a sense of pride? all these memories will be lost like sharts in the rain.

      Not enough people talk about fart trust. The privilege of those who can trust a fart and the loss of that privilege and it's attendant joys when one is inevitably betrayed.

      I tend to err on untrusting, but I've been re-learning to trust. Mostly to entertain myself and my household (the dog mainly, and my partner) while outside I'm much more likely to just.. not fart. Simply reabsorb the fart until a suitable safe venue (home or a toilet) becomes available.
